Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt in a bowl.
- Cream together brown sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add nuts, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and oatmeal to the creamed mixture and mix well.
- Form the dough into balls of desired size.
- Dip the tops of the cookies in sugar and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a chewier texture, consider using bread flour instead of all-purpose flour. You can also substitute half of the butter with coconut oil for a unique flavor twist. If you're out of eggs, mashed bananas or unsweetened applesauce can work as a binding agent. For added richness, try using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are delightful on their own but pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a fun twist, serve them alongside a slice of Kokekola Cake for dessert. They also make a great addition to a dessert platter during gatherings or holiday celebrations.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes until warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these cookies without nuts?
Absolutely! You can simply omit the nuts or replace them with additional chocolate chips or dried fruit if you prefer. This way, you still get a delicious cookie without the added crunch of nuts.
What can I use instead of shredded coconut?
If you’re not a fan of coconut, you can substitute it with more oats or even some crushed graham crackers for a different texture. Both options will still maintain the integrity of the cookie.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
Look for a golden brown color around the edges and a slightly soft center. They will continue to firm up as they cool on the baking sheet. If you prefer a softer cookie, you can take them out a minute or two early.
